THEY HUNG HIM.
A LITTLE HORSE PLAY BY CRESCENT
MILL MEN
Comes Near Ending Up in Serious MANNER
A Long List Of Criminal Matters and
Minor Police News.

A little before O'Clock yesterday morn
ing little bit of horse play was enacted
at the Crescent Mill, which came unpieas-
antly near shutting off VIII, or Bolivar "
Fladinp's wind, if current rumors last even
ing can be trusted. The story goes that
a number of the men took serious offence
at an act of Flading's, committed Mon
day, and determined to teach him lesson
he would not soon forget. About the
time named fourteen men, comprising TWO
crews, captured Fading, carried him De,
meath o large crane, to which rope mao
been attached, made a moose in approved
form, which was fastened about his neck
and the command to Hoist away being
given, Fading was soon clear OF the
ground. 1t had been the aim OF the men
70 so adjust the moose about his neck as 10
render a serious result impossible, but In
some manner the thing slipped, and before
Fading was let down he was pretty scarce
of breath and his tongue was hanging out
No bad results are anticipated, but 1t Is re-
ported it would not have taken long TO
have made the sham hanging terrible re-
atty. Mr.. Flading is catcher for we'll
known roller. The rope was left hanging
on the crane during most of yesterday oy
the men.

BASE BALL

Notes of Interest to People Interested In
the National Game,
Dunn has been laid off for two weeks on
account of indifferent work.
A rumOr was current last night TO the
effect that one of the Wheeling team had
been drowned. There is nothing what
ever in the report.
The Standards, of the Island, defeated
the Washington College nine on the Fourth
of July by a score Is to II. The Wheeling
battery was Robert Sheppard and Bick
Sheppard.
The Wheeling MaroOps have made ar
rangements to play the W. w. Bells, OF
Pittsburg, ON next Friday and Saturday,
July 8 and 0. The Bells have been play
idg good ball and will give the local team
a good game.
II another city concludes to take Steu-
benvilles place, we may have three games
next week, after all. But from present
appearances, tits not probable that any OF
our rivals in the race will play here before
August 4th.
A communication was received at this
Office last night protesting strongly against
certain reported changes in the affairs of
the Wheeling Base Ball Association. As
it was anonymous, it could not be printed,
the signature of q responsible person being
necessary for publication:
The 2anesyille club made a good i'm
preston OH our base ball public in the
two games played here on the Fourth.
There must be something wrong in the re-
ports concerning their kicking in other
League cities, as they behaved like gentle
men, and took their two defeats without a
murmur.
There will be no more League games in
this city until August I, when Columbus
makes her second appearance here. The
bone team leaves on the second trip on
July Is, meeting GAINESVILLE on the IA, Is
and l6, and afterwards making the circuit
of the League cities.
As Manager English found that he was
unable to attend to the management of the
Wheeling team, and to his other business
engagements at the same time, be has
resigned his position as manager of the
Maroons ard will be succeeded by Eichal.
san. Mr. English mas been appointed
secretary and treasury of the w. &. Il. A.,
and will, no doubt, ill the position to the
satisfaction of all concerned Nicholson
is a good, straightforward fellow, and will
see that the rules are strictly enforced.

Hunting u Man.

Last evening man named Gus Schnei'
der came in from Fulton and hunted mp
Justice Davis, informing him that he
wished TO swear out two warrants for I'D.
Reel. Schneider couldn't manipulate the
English languange with any degree OF
success, so the Justice was compelled to
hunt up al interpreter. He then learned
that Schneider charged Reel with having
flourished revolver and threatened to
shoot him and his wife, and that he had
used very profape language towards them.
The warrants were made out and placed
in the hands of Officers Bell and Deku,
who went out to Fulton on the 10 clock
motor.
minute later Justice Davis was in
formed that Reel was at Justice George
Arkle's Office He had been arrested Oh
Market street by Constable Lauchlin for
creating disturbance, and was fined 81
and costs before Justice Ankle.
Squire Davis held Reel in the sum OF
$500 for his appearance this morning, and
he went to Jail in default of bail. The
officers naturally came from Fulton
empty handed, but they had "A short ex
cursion for their trouble.

Market Street Incident.

Last evening Assessor Zane approached
G. T. Patterson, the man who is selling
toys and other articles from stand at the
corner of Market and Fourteenth streets,
and asked him if he had the proper license
for selling. Patterson asked Mr.. Zane for
his authority i'll demanding to see the
paper, and when he was informed he re-
fused to show the license. Mr.. Zane then
went before Justice George Ankle and
swore out warrant for Patterson's arrest.
Mr. Patterson showed a city license and
said he supposed that was all he needed.
Not having State license, the Justice
fined him SO and costs, but RENTED the
fine on the payment of costs. Patterson
then returned 10 his stand and began sell
ing some goods manufactured by himself.
Mr.. Zane went back and insisted on see
ing his license, and he and Ed. Reel made
it unpleasant for Patterson, and as they
would not desist Constable Lauchlin ar
rested them both and they were fined 81 and
costs apiece. The affair created good
deal of excitement on the streets and a
large crowd collected, who guyed the Of
tenders in great shape.

business of importance. Bills amounting
to $50 were audited and found to he cor
rect. 1t was decided to so amend the Or
dinauce in relation to the crematory that
the Health Officer can use his discretion in
allowing persons TO haul the contents of
dry vaults into the country for the use of
farmers who desire it. This is done in
order that the crematory can be relieved
from the big strain upon it at this time,
because the ashes in the vaults cannot be
burned up along with the soil. An attempt
was made to empty the contents Of the
new odorIess excavating machine into the
furnace yesterday, and it did not-Tesult
very successfully--in fact rather unsuccess-
fully, according to the statement of people
in the vicinity at the time. Some arrange
ment will have to be made that will cover
this defect.

THE INSURANCE.
The insurance is very small. As far a:
it can he learned to-day, it is as follows:
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

Some say the fire is the work of an in
cendiary, while others and the greater pOr-
ton Of the people attribute it to not
hay ing completely extinguished the fire of
the afternoon. Be this as it may, one
thing is beyond dispute, and that is that
both fires originated in the same place
The matter will be fully investigated by
the town authorities.

following telegram was received from

Why the Engines Did Not Go.

A reporter for the REGISTER saw Chief
Dunning at the Atlantic engine house, yes
terday afternoon, and asked for an expla-
nation of why the department did not re-
spond to the call for aid. He said:
THE word that there was a fire reached
me about five o'clock this morning. at
once communicated with the Commission
ers, to know whether or not we were
TO 90 out, realizing that whatever
was done must be done quickly.
After talking it over, we concluded that it
would not be pOljtie to send any portion of
the department so far rom home, and !
notified Mayor Seabright of this. Myself
and men We're perfectly willing TO 90 and
do whatever we could, but at the same
time ] don't think it would have been a
judicious thing to do. We would have had
70 have taken the Niagara and couple
of thousanS feet of hose to do
any good, and sending our best
engine so far away might have resulted in
serious loss to our manufacturers and bust
ness men, as it left Us bnt two small engins
for any emergency which might arise. It il
all right to send the men and apparatus
across the river, where they can be recalled
if needed, but trip to Grafton is another
matter. Another thing: it would have
taken us, as we counted, three hours to get
there, and then we would have been
too late to do any material good in
the way Of saying property. The case is
one where We would have Gesn censured
by some people, no matter what was done.
If we had gone out to Grafton, and there
had been bad fire in our absence, the
same folks who are now blaming MS for
not going would have censured us for
leaving the city unprotected"
